Chuncheon is a fine town.

A few days ago I did a little write-up about missionaries in Suncheon.

The original church they founded here is still there, though the original structure has been replaced twice. They did found the first church in the Honam area, though, in Mokpo. When you were in Gwangju you might’ve visited the Honam Theological University and Seminary. About two dozen foreigners are buried there, including Eugene Bell.

…Err, great pictures as usual, Mr. Koehler! I have since childhood enjoyed the aesthetics of the church, even if I find it a bit alien in the Korean setting.. Then again I also find the Indian aesthetics of Buddhism rather mismatched in the Korean setting too.

baduk,

If I were an emotionally and morally shallow person, I’d be a Christian too. Thank God I’m not!

Netizen Kim,

Sorry, I did not read your posts fully. Glad to have another Korean Christian on board!

My last post applies to any non-Christians(heathen, savages) but not to Netizen Kim.

Hallelujah! Jesus is the Lord.

Netizen Kim,

One day, about thirty years, I was praying to Jesus. And, suddenly I have felt a great joy. This joy cannot be explained in human terms. Only explaination is that it is beyond this world. It was supernatural.

I hope you sincerely pray to God and read Bible frequently. One day, God will meet you, just He has appeared to me.

I will pray for that event. Then, you will know God. You will know that Bible is not just a fiction. And, you will come to know these saints who shed their blood in Korea were not fools,rather they were most wise men in the world.

Experience God. You will be changed as well.

I like the pictures, Mr.Koehler.I wish I had the time get out and see more.Thanks for bringing them to me. It’s sad, but entertaining in a snipy way,that the origin of this thread would bring the freaks out of their burrows.

Well, God’s not a conservative white person, so..?

Keep dodging, Net Kim.

OK, you got me by the balls and you ain’t letting go. Fair enough.

But I still happen to think that the existence of suffering only proves, well, the existence of suffering.
